We study the Diophantine geometry of algebraic curves on relative moduli of special linear rank two local systems over surfaces. We prove that the set of integral points on any nondegenerately embedded algebraic curve can be effectively determined. Under natural hypotheses on the embedding in relation to mapping class group dynamics of the moduli space, the set of all imaginary quadratic integral points on the curve is shown to be finite. Our ingredients include a boundedness result for…

Diophantine Analysis on Moduli of Local Systems
We develop a Diophantine analysis on moduli of special linear rank two local systems over surfaces with prescribed boundary traces. We first show that such a moduli space is a log Calabi-Yau variety…

Abstract We show that every coarse moduli space, parametrizing complex special linear rank-2 local systems with fixed boundary traces on a surface with nonempty boundary, is log Calabi–Yau in that it…
Surfaces, braids, Stokes matrices, and points on spheres
Moduli spaces of points on $n$-spheres carry natural actions of braid groups. For $n=0$, $1$, and $3$, we prove that these symmetries extend to actions of mapping class groups of positive genus…
Nonlinear descent on moduli of local systems

Short Loop Decompositions of Surfaces and the Geometry of Jacobians
Given a Riemannian surface, we consider a naturally embedded graph which captures part of the topology and geometry of the surface. By studying this graph, we obtain results in three different…
Plane curves associated to character varieties of 3-manifolds
Consider a compact 3-manifold M with boundary consisting of a single torus. The papers [CS1, CS2, CGLS] discuss the variety of characters of SL2(C) representations of zl(M), and some of the ways in…
Integral points on subvarieties of semiabelian varieties, I
This paper proves a finiteness result for families of integral points on a semiabelian variety minus a divisor, generalizing the corresponding result of Faltings for abelian varieties. Combined with…
Ergodic theory on moduli spaces
Let M be a compact surface with x(M) < 0 and let G be a compact Lie group whose Levi factor is a product of groups locally isomorphic to SU(2) (for example SU(2) itself). Then the mapping class group…
Trace Coordinates on Fricke spaces of some simple hyperbolic surfaces
The conjugacy class of a generic unimodular 2 by 2 complex matrix is determined by its trace, which may be an arbitrary complex number. In the nineteenth century, it was known that a generic pair…
Ergodicity of Mapping Class Group Actions on SU(2)-character varieties
Let S be a compact orientable surface with genus g and n boundary components d_1,...,d_n. Let b = (b_1, ..., b_n) where b_n lies in [-2,2]. Then the mapping class group of S acts on the relative…
